It was Reichmann’s firm, Olympia & York, that started the redevelopment of Canary Wharf by building One Canada Square. Reichmann stood down as chairman of Canary Wharf Group when he decided to bid for the company. After losing to Songbird, he stepped down as a director. In September 2009, Songbird bought an 8.5% stake, which was reported to bring to an end his involvement in the company. He died at 83 last October. (Photo: PA)
